The results of the survey will be published and presented to a public meeting when the proposal can be discussed further.

For most villages a shop is a vital lifeline and for some people, especially those without transport, it is an important connection with the world beyond their front door. It is a meeting place, communication centres and an important lynchpin of village life. Much of the appeal of our village rests on it’s sense of community. It is the reason many people have moved here and remain here. The presence of a shop would, we feel, greatly enhance that community spirit.

To gauge the appetite for a community shop, the survey has been set up to get your views on what might be provided and what would receive your support. Paper copies of the survey are available as detailed below if required, but if you’ve yet to give your views, please take a moment to take the online survey – it will really help.
